selected for maximum application flexibility
• High speed index capability for
exceptional productivity
Rugged Production
Hardening System
Self-Contained
Quench System
A completely pre-plumbed,
self-contained quench system features
a plate and frame water-to-water heat
exchanger for low plant water demand
and easy cleaning. A bronze fitted
integral pump motor combination
eliminates alignment problems.
The quench tank has epoxy coated
surfaces for long life. A four outlet
quench manifold allows the user to
balance each line separately for
uniform quench impingement.
A suction strainer and in-line basket
strainer with dual filters assures a
clean quench.
Integrating our experience and technology
has paved the way for developing this
precision vertical hardening system
(VSM-95). The outstanding rigidity of our
design results in repeatability of better than
± .002 in. Heavy-duty hardened and chrome
plated shafting with bearing seals, wipers
and scrapers means long life and low
maintenance. In addition to scanning,
our flexible system performs a variety of
static applications such as single shot
hardening, tempering, annealing and gear
hardening. The standard low maintenance,
large servo allows a high speed index
without sacrificing slow speed accuracy
for increased productivity. The standard
available model includes many special
mechanical features with a wide variety
of options to expand the application
range including a second work station.
Programmable For
Maximum Flexibility
The standard VSM-95 has a
programmable logic controller (PLC)
based closed-loop servo control.
Individual 36 step part process program
controls position, power level, dwell
time, scan speed, rotation speed and
quench on/off. It also features a real
time display of process parameters.
The control cycles automatically through
intermittent heating and quenching
times at selected scanning speeds.
It is easily reprogrammed for static and
lift-and-rotate applications. To further
simplify set-up, the upper tooling
carriage can be adjusted up/down
without tools. Options are available for
even more versatility. See our option
sheet, Bulletin HT-45 OP, for details.
